My Story

Born in the vibrant landscapes of Nayarit, Mexico, and raised in the heart of Minnesota, my story is one of blending cultures, hard work, and chasing big dreams. Growing up, I learned the value of resilience and creativity from my family—especially my mother, who taught me that success is built on dedication and staying true to your roots.

My entrepreneurial journey started early, selling hostas at the farmers market as a kid. That small venture lit a spark in me—a passion for creating something meaningful and connecting with people through my work.

Eventually, my love for design and creativity led me to New York City, where I began my fashion journey. The energy of the city, combined with my deep connection to my Mexican heritage, inspired me to create something truly unique: a brand that celebrates culture, empowers community, and delivers performance-driven style.

Now, I call sunny Miami home. This city’s vibrant energy and diverse community have further fueled my passion for creating bold, versatile apparel that fits seamlessly into an active, colorful lifestyle.

Cliff and Road was born from this vision—and from love. The name “Cliff” is a tribute to my partner, Cliff, whose unwavering support and belief in this journey have been my foundation. We’ve built more than a brand; we’ve built a story of resilience, connection, and purpose.

Every piece we design reflects where I’ve been and where I’m going—from the resilience of Nayarit, the grounding of Minnesota, the creativity of NYC, to the dynamic inspiration of Miami. Whether it’s the sleek Diego shorts or the versatile Navigator Tank, our apparel is crafted for those who value quality, versatility, and a story worth sharing.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Cliff and Road isn’t just about fashion—it’s about embracing who you are, where you come from, and the adventures ahead.
